no i mean like

006FB7B0=address
xxxxxx=value in Numbers eg:1,2,3,4,5etc
i want the value to appear in ASCII eg: a,b,c,a,e
the real value is in ASCII but shows up in #s

From the VB 6 help files:

The ChrW function returns a String containing the Unicode character except on platforms where Unicode is not supported, in which case, the behavior is identical to the Chr function.

Like this:

Dim hHex As String
Dim dDec As Long

hHex = "0000C4E0"
    dDec = CLng("&H" & hHex)

MsgBox dDec

Or are you trying to turn a 65 into an A, 66 into B, 67 into C etc ???

Except it is in hex so 41 is A, 42 is B and so on?

We still don't get what you exactly mean... but it feels like you are talking about memory addresses.

To get the text string from a memory address, you can simply use the SysAllocString function. Which returns the text string from a memory location.

Private Declare Function SysAllocString Lib "oleaut32" (pOlechar As Any) As String
...
Dim S As String, L As Long
L = &H6FB7B0 'make sure this is a valid address!
S = SysAllocString(ByVal L)
MsgBox S[/tt]

May be this is what you mean.
